Abstract

In the present work, an interactive computer program for simulation of the HOLZ line patterns, JECP/HOLZ, is reported. A feature of this program is the integration of the simulation of the HOLZ reflections and the HOLZ (curved and straight) lines, which is interactive with respect to changes of the lattice parameter, the accelerator voltage, the zone axis, and the beam tilt. The program can be used as a teaching aid for students as well as a tool for scientists working on electron diffraction experiments.
